The wait is over. The verdict is in. With a 94% Rotten Tomatoes score, I think it’s safe to say: Incredibles 2 was worth the wait. Jack Jack has stolen the hearts of everyone who has seen the film. So today, it’s all about him. I’m sharing some behind-the-scenes photos and interview with the creators. I’ll also be taking a deeper dive into Jack-Jack’s unlimited powers.

Jack-Jack’s powers and the challenges that came along with them from the Effects team. The team we got to chat with included Supervising Animator Tony Fucile, Effects Supervisor Bill Watral, and Effects Artist Jason Johnston.

Jack-Jack history

Remember, when the original Incredibles ended, we were not made aware of Jack-Jack’s powers. But like in the first film, Jack Jack is clearly still a baby. In fact, even though it’s 14 years later, there has only been a few months passed from the first film until now.

In this film, we get to learn all about the powers that baby Jack-Jack possesses. And like any parent might be, Bob Parr is excited to know his son is like the rest of the family…until he begins to discover them one by one.

Jack-Jack has…POWERS!

The Parr family is set to have their hands full as they start to discover all of the many powers their adorable Jack-Jack has. Effects Artist, Jason Johnston was tasked with creating the new Jack-Jack fire effect. Something that looks “simple” to us, takes a lot of planning and work to flawlessly execute. And that’s what Johnston and his team were able to do.

He ends up having multiple different powers in the final film. The first one we took a deeper look into was the power of fire.

Additional Jack-Jack powers:

Turn into heavy metal– This sounds like a pretty neat and effective power, especially to combat a kidnapping. But sadly, this power was cut from the film.

Vibration – It’s hard enough to hold a wiggly baby, but one that vibrates? Forget about it! Take that, bad guys!

Phase through walls – If Bob thought a baby crib or gate was gonna keep Jack-Jack still, boy was he wrong! This superpower is only going to get tricky (I can sense it).

Effortlessly Multiply – Can you imagine seeing 5 identical versions of your baby? And what about if each of those had the same amount of powers? This puts parenting into perspective. Poor Bob & Helen 😆

Teleport – Personally, I would be freaked out by a disappearing/reappearing baby. But I guess, if I was in the Parr family, this would become my “new normal”. Bob & Helen are in for a challenge for sure!

Multiple dimensions– As if teleportation wasn’t enough, Jack-Jack can also travel through multiple dimensions. Thank goodness for a floating echo voice in which he can still be heard.

Defy gravity AKA Levitate –Floating baby anyone? I can definitely see how this would be a great advantage
